The north woods are a bad place for that, you will get ticks if you spend time in the backcountry, period. Just need to do a check when you come back. Luckily, Lyme Disease is still rare in that part of the country, but you can still get it (from Deer Ticks, which are the smaller ones that you can barely see).

 

Here are some tips from an outdoorsman:

 

--Blouse your pants into your boots/shoes/socks

--Wear thick socks

--Use a heavy-deet insect repellant like Muskol (the stuff that says don't use on furniture or painted surfaces), not the weak "Off" stuff, and use it particularly on your legs and arms.

--Try to avoid brushing up against plants and shrubs when you can

--Try not to sit on the ground much

 

If you actually get a tick, use a real tick remover if you can find one - if you pull out out with tweezers or by hand, try to get as much of it out as you can. If you leave part of it in there, you can still get disease from it.

 

I dunno, I find it hard to believe an outdoorsman would use the word "Blouse"

The verb, not the noun.

 

Are you saying I shouldn't be hiking around in the woods with a miniskirt anymore? You can't take that away from me!

Well, I take it as a positive sign that you aren't trying to call it a kilt anymore!

 

Thanks for the tips. They are just so freaking gross.

The skirt's OK. It's the go-go boots I'm worried about.

This is more for my fellow Hoosiers who understand the hilarity of Sports, but anyone can be amused by it.

 

Again, extremely NSFW.

But that's what keeps the ticks away.

I bought a CFL bulb last week and it blew out already. What in the f***... I know it has a warranty but you need to keep the box (I actually did) AND the proof of purchase. Who actually keeps proof of purchase on a light bulb? I must have 20 or 30 CFL bulbs in my house, when one is bad that's just money down the s***ter.

 

Buy a new bulb and use that receipt instead.

Had a run in with some Kidney Stones today. Worst pain I have ever felt. That was about 6 hours of hell.

Lost, wherever you are, this made me think of you.

Go to google and type in "Find Chuck Norris" and click the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button

Hillarious.

It is pretty intuitive, but it gets repetitive if you don't remove songs from the playlist sometimes.

Holy s*** this seems so obvious that I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it.

I am so extremely horny today. And NO this is not intended to be a pornographic post for my own pleasure or use. It is just an out of the ordinary type of hornyness that I dont quite know how to deal with while I am at work. LOL

Why do I share this s*** with Soxtalk?

It's a variation on the sign and trade I call the buy and trade. I've also used it when something goes on sale at another store soon after I buy a big ticket item.

Because you don't have Facebook.

Orlando's soon to be "Creative Village" (the soon to be former home of the Orlando Magic)

Orlando's NBA arena and the sea of parking lots around it will be replaced by a hip neighborhood with a mix of college kids, Facebook-generation urbanites, high-tech companies and educational institutions, a place dotted with video screens and anchored by seven vibrant parks.

 

That's the plan, anyway.

 

On Wednesday, Orlando officials selected — subject to City Council approval — one of the two private teams competing to redevelop the Centroplex. The 68 acres of city-owned land just west of downtown now contains the 21-year-old Amway Arena, the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, a charter school, a recreation center, tennis courts, parking lots and garages.

 

The winning proposal from Creative Village Development LLC offered a plan for an active, "24/7" neighborhood that would attract digital media schools and companies, where students and workers would also choose to live. A key factor for the cash-strapped city: The plan requires no investment of public funds.

 

"We've ended up with a rock-solid plan that's the result of a lot of hard work by talented and bright people," said Craig Ustler, a lead partner in the development team. "This is not a pie-in-the-sky idea."

 

It's a big gamble for both sides that will play out during the next 15 years.

 

This makes me feel good to be moving there in 5 years. Lots of new tech jobs.

A coincidence? I think not.

So in the last two days, I (in this order):

a.) graduated college

b.) got my first car

c.) came home to find my computer not booting up

d.) got hit by a school bus on first day driving said car (nothing serious, scraped the back bumper and a little crack in the left tail light)

e.) got computer to boot up by unplugging and replugging the power 3 times

 

f*** life.
